Benefits of digital signage on every display

  • Effective communication: Timely and relevant content reaches the intended audience at the right time, improving information flow.
  • Increased engagement: Visually captivating signage draws attention, keeping students, teachers, and visitors informed.
  • Focused on value: Vivi’s signage leverages the displays you already have in place, whether they are projectors, TVs, or interactive flat panels (IFPs). And if you’re already using Vivi in the classroom, you can get started with classroom signage today.
  • Environmental impact: Reducing the need for printed materials, Vivi supports a sustainable approach to communication.

Balancing digital signage and classroom use

Vivi’s digital signage and wireless screen sharing work seamlessly together. Signage can run during non-teaching moments, displaying announcements or reminders, while teachers easily take control of the screen when it’s time to teach by selecting “Share my Screen.” This ensures signage adds to the classroom experience without disrupting teaching.

Beyond screen sharing: Unlocking the power

Vivi is more than just wireless screen sharing; it’s a powerful communication tool. Replace outdated notices with dynamic digital signage using your existing displays. Target messages, create engaging playlists, and build a more connected school. Ready to get the most out of digital signage? Book a demo now!
